JEWISH BUENOS AIRES
An NEH Summer Seminar for College and University
Teachers, to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina
between July 9 and July 27, 2007, under the direction of David William Foster
The seminar will focus on six major works of
Argentine Jewish writers, basically from the
twentieth century. Through a detailed
examination of these works as literary texts
that interpret the Jewish immigrant experience
in Buenos Aires, the seminar will provide 15
participants with an important grounding in
Argentine urban immigrant culture. Participants
will be college and university professors of
Latin American studies, some of whom may have
some familiarity with Argentine. The latter will
have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge
of Argentine literature, while other
participants will receive a solid introduction
to Argentine Jewish culture through major
literary texts. The language of the seminar will
be Spanish, and participants must have an
advanced command of the language for purposes of
reading the texts, discussing them, and
preparing written essays. An important aspect of
the seminar will be several lunches a week with
prominent Jewish artists, intellectuals, and
writers ("Almorzando con Buenos Aires Judío").
